Battle in the Ballroom 06/24/10- Event Recap

The Battle in the Ballroom took place last night at the Irvine Marriott main ballroom in Irvine, CA. The event was a hybrid boxing/MMA card with 6 full bouts of action. There was a sold out crowd of over 1,500 fight fans there to catch the action.

The co-main event was a brief but exciting boxing match between Alejandro Solorio and Abel Gomez. The action started literally right after the opening bell rang with both fighters exchanging wildly. Solorio got the better of the exchange and knocked Gomez down within the first minute of the fight. He followed up after the count by knocking Gomez out with a tremendous left hook seconds after. In other action, Carlos Aguilar from All in MMA put on a awesome display of his jiujitsu wizardry by taking the back of Raja Shippen and choking him out late in the first round.
